While Ozempic has shown to be an effective weight loss tool for many, it’s not without its side effects. One of those side effects is Ozempic face or the loss of volume in the face. Luckily, there are easy and effective treatments available to treat this side effect and rejuvenate your facial appearance.
What is Ozempic Face?
Ozempic face is a term for what can occur as a result of the type 2 diabetes and weight loss drug Ozempic. It can sometimes result in loss of facial volume and sagging or drooping skin. It can also occur with any similar medication or rapid weight loss.
Treating Ozempic Face
Treating Ozempic face may be easier than you think. Sarasota Plastic Surgery and our team offer a few different minimally-invasive treatments that can boost your facial volume and smooth lines and wrinkles.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are one of the most common treatments used to address Ozempic face. By adding volume to the face via these injections, you can address areas of sagging and drooping skin quickly and easily.
Botox
With less volume in the face, lines and wrinkles can become more prominent. That’s where Botox comes in! The neuromodulator can temporarily stop the facial muscles from contracting, allowing dynamic lines and wrinkles to smooth out and leaving you looking years younger.
Dysport
Like Botox, Dysport is also a neuromodulator that temporarily stops certain facial muscles from contracting. This allows the lines and wrinkles on the face to smooth out and give you a younger-looking appearance. Dysport is a great alternative to Botox and often shows results much more quickly.
What to Expect From Ozempic Face Treatment
What to expect with Ozempic face treatment depends on the type of treatment you’re having done. Often, patients have dermal fillers and Botox together to achieve a fully rejuvenated appearance.
With treatment, your provider will start by cleansing the area. From there, they will start the appropriate injections. Patients may feel a slight pinprick of discomfort during the first injection, but after that, most patients find treatment very tolerable.
How many injections of dermal fillers and/or Botox and Dysport are required depends on the results the patient is looking for. On average, treatment can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes.
